downsdea 's review for:

The Realms of the Gods by Tamora Pierce
3.0

Hm, I didn’t connect with this installment. Why couldn’t Daine have been 13, 16, 19, 22 in these books, rather than 13, 14, 15, 16? I swear it would have made more sense. Actually I’m going to just amend my memories of this book- ah perfect, Daine grows into a young adult over the span of a decade in this series.
SpoilerNow the Numair business skeeves me much less.

The journey through the realm of the gods did not interest me. And I feel like there should have been more foreshadowing of Chaos’s involvement in the central conflict of the series. It seemed to come out of nowhere and felt tacked-on.

I would’ve liked to know Daine as an adult, alas not in these books. Maybe in a later series??
